. fitnitrll some Letters Patent-Ne. 97,519, dated December 7, 1869.

DE'I'AOHABLE 'IIPPING-BAIL.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same.

Be it known that I, J. KEITH, of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings, and State of New York, have in"= rented a new and useful Improvement in,Tipping- Device; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description theredf, which will enable others skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification.

This invention relates to a new and useful improvement in a device for tipping pots and kettles, for facilitating the operation of pouring out the contents, and consists ina bail connected with a hoop or band, by which the pot or kettle is surrounded, arranged and operating as hereinafter more fully described.

In the accompanying drawing- Figure 1 represents a top view of the device.

Figure 2 represents it as when attached to a pot or kettle on a stove; also, showing it as when in use. In the latter position, the pot and tipping-device are shown in red color. i

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts. g

A is a hoop or band, which is made so as to fit on to a pot or kettle above the shoulder B, as seen in fig. 2.

This hoop A may be made in different ways, but I prefer to make it of a single piece, and lock it to gether, as seen at 0, allowing the ends to extend each way, to form ears for the bail D.

0 represents the cars, which are turned so as to come in contact with the bail, and to act as springs against the bail, causing sufiicient friction thereby to prevent the handle or hail from falling, and to keep it in about the position seen in fig. 2, when it is not in actual use.

11 is the handle, which is of wood, or some other good non-conductor of heat, so that it never gets too hot for the hand.

In using the tipping-bail, which is attached to the pot by slipping or driving on the band A, the pot or kettle is lifted by the common bail, in the ordinary manner, and carried to the desired location for emptying its contents; then, by lifting with the other hand the tipping-bail, the pot or kettle is tipped, without the lea-st diificulty or danger, until the contents are entirely discharged. .One tipping-device, constructed, as shown, of the hoopA and, hail D, is sutficient for all pots and ket ties which it'will fit, as it is readily detached from one and applied to another, or there may be a tipping-bail attached permanently to each pot or kettle.

This tippingedevice may be made to slip on to a-pot or kettle below the shoulder B, after the pot or kettle has been lift-ed from the fire or stove, but I do not recommend that method as being as safe and convcnient as thatshown in the drawing.

The advantages of this device are that the-opera, tion of discharging the contents of the pot or kettle is greatly facilitated thereby, no looking for rags or holders being necessary, while all danger of spilling the contents and scalding the person is avoided.

Having thus described my invention,-

1 claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent 1. A detachable tipping-device, formed of the hoop or band A and hail D, substantially tits and for the purposes described.

2. The spring-ears c, in combination with a tipping- Witnesses Geo. W. MABEE, ALEX. F. ROBERTS.
